2 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2023 Tesla Model Y

Failure Date: 02/24/2023

Hello, I was taking my car reverse and my car door was open slightly and it hit my garage door, and that was my mistake. My only problem here is, the driver side rear window broke and it broke into millions of pieces and shattered all over inside. The car. Not sure what the technology is, and it should not break into millions of tiny, tiny pieces. It's a brand new car and struggling to clean it because they are no minute. Thanks.
